Kiev has launched cross-border attacks to sabotage the talks between the Russian and US presidents, Moscow has claimed

Ukrainian troops on Tuesday launched multiple cross-border attacks on Russia’s Belgorod Region, the country’s defense ministry has said. The MOD linked the new incursion attempt to the phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During the day, the Ukrainian military mounted five attacks on Belgorod Region, targeting the border villages of Demidovka and Prilesye.

The operation involved 200 soldiers and 29 pieces of military hardware, including five tanks, the Russian Defense Ministry stated.

All the attacks were repelled, with the invading force losing up to 60 servicemen, at least one tank, three military breacher vehicles, and seven pieces of other armor, according to the MOD.

Footage circulating online purports to show Ukrainian armor, including several US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, breaching through concrete anti-tank obstacles installed on the border. The armor comes under artillery fire, with some vehicles hitting landmines, as well as getting attacked by multiple fiber optics-guided FPV drones.

The vehicles involved in the attack have distinctive white triangle tactical marking that were used by the Ukrainian invasion force operating in Russia’s Kursk Region since last August.

Kiev had planned to use its occupation of parts of the Kursk Region as leverage during negotiations with Russia. In recent weeks, the Russian troops have significanly reduced the area Ukrainians and liberated Sudzha, the largest town occupied by Ukrainians during their incursion.
